Re: WTB rear chrome sport bumper/brackets/license plate mount/light

Got your message and I will keep an eye out for you. There is a difference between leaf spring and coil spring rear bumper brackets. I am not sure what the exact difference is. You will also want to reach out to the blazer guys as I believe they are the same.

There was a add on here for the license plate bracket a couple of weeks ago but I think he sold them both. Be patient grasshopper and it will come to you.

Don't expect to find really nice OE GM bumper. They have all been used and run hard. The aftermarkets are OK and look good but if you are driving it 365 in Utah, I would get some advise from some one who has an aftermarket bumper as the chrome quality varies.

I waited a long time for my stuff to come around and it is not perfect but neither is the rest of the truck

Thanks Tom. Here's a photoshop Bruceman did for me so I could see what it looks like


I've looked for used ones at the yard, but most of the trucks around here ended up being farm trucks with step bumpers.

Re: WTB rear chrome sport bumper/brackets/license plate mount/light

Unless you find really nice used parts for a REALLY good price,... you should consider buying reproduction parts.
Bumper brackets are cheap, straight and not pitted.
License boxes are perfectly straight, and not beat up from years of use.
License lights are new with a nice clear lense with a bulb socket that isn't corroded.

I use Classic Parts of America.

Yeah, I know, but I'm spoiled from all my good junk yard finds. I was hoping to find a factory setup in driver condition for less than something new that might not be as high of quality

Check this out AJ. Not sure if burbs are the same but I bet it would work. The brackets are worth every penny of the asking price. The bumper is tweaked but you may straighten it with some muscle.

Also a bump for you

Thanks Tom. I'll have to do the math again, but with the sale Brothers has right now, I think I can get it all for pretty close to that. I'm OK with the bracket and gravel guards being a little rough, but the plate holder looks like it's seen better days

So, are you in Utah Couny Highland? There are a couple junk yards on Geneva road that have 67-72 trucks from time to time. I'd check there. I bought mine from a junk yard, and then painted it and cleaned it up

Lets see some pics of your truck. Maybe we can get together sometime
